Unusual household tricks can make our daily chores around the house much more enjoyable.
A couple of tricks were shared by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
Preparing parchment for baking
Anyone who has ever tried to line a baking pan with parchment paper knows how difficult it is.
If you don't want to suffer with wrinkled corners any longer, hold the sheet under running water from the tap for a while, then carefully adjust it to the form so that it fits evenly.
Wet parchment is much more flexible, which makes it easier to shape in the right container.
Cutting onions without tears
To avoid crying while you're chopping onions, rub your cutting board with vinegar.
As a result, gas will not be released, which is the cause of shed tears.
Chopping garlic
The easiest way to get the crushed garlic you need for a particular dish is to use a garlic press.
But sometimes the right device fails at the most crucial moment. In such cases, you should wrap the peeled cloves in cling film and beat them with a hammer.
